ThePointingMan Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 What does it mean to be a furry? Just kinda confusing, I here so many aweful things so many, not awful things, a nice explanation would be handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gtline fox hunter 300 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 To be a furry means to be a creature that has fur mostly a fox, dog or cat :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluxy Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 It can also be used to call someone who likes Furry creatures (mainly Anthro morphs, but can be actual animals too I guess). Whether they just like them, or they get sexually aroused by them is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 It simply means you think anthromorpic beings are 'cool'. It doesn't have to be more than that, but it can also be more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedFox8 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 It can also be used to call someone who likes Furry creatures (mainly Anthro morphs, but can be actual animals too I guess). Whether they just like them, or they get sexually aroused by them is another story.^ This. It can be taken to extremes, such as wearing "fursuits" which are simply mascot uniform-like suits or even physically altering yourself, such as the Ripley's Believe it or not story of a guy getting a cat's tail affixed to the base of his spine, having his ears stretched, nose clefted, and having whiskers implanted.You can also represent yourself through an anthro animal called a "fursona" an obvious word parody of persona.Why my Firefox spell checker thought fursona wasn't misspelled is anyone's guess. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fana McCloud Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 It simply means you think anthromorpic beings are 'cool'. It doesn't have to be more than that, but it can also be more than that.In addition the word can also refer to the objects of said affection (the anthropomorphic animals themselves) - strangely not just ones with fur, though many try to come up with alternative terms like "scalies" to be a bit more correct in regards to non-fuzzy anthros.

Redeemer Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Milkshake gave me a pretty good definition, you should ask him. I can't remember what is was word for word though, sorry. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 It means you are a kinky gay pervert. ...In the land of CSI.Asper has it down. It might be better to think of the term gamer, it's the same kind of thing. There are so many subgroups, each believing they are 'true' or 'best', but the answer to your question, it's an interest in anthros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePointingMan Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 Aright Thankyou!It means you are a kinky gay pervert. ...In the land of CSI.That's the definition I hear most... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid_Cortet Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 it is like most here says, you think that Anthros (animals with human characteristics, such as arms, feet....or humans with animal characteristics...either way) are cool, NOT all are perverted.....some cartoons and games show a good definitionStar FoxTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesand many others :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEAKERnight. Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Urban Dictionary has some good definitions. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=furryEDIT: I meant the ones that don't have "I" in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DRL Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 That's the definition I hear most...That is because:Stereotype = Stereotype.Do. Not. Believe. It.Whatever the definition is, thegenerally accepted term is thatyou like Anthropomorphic characters,REGARDLESS of the fact that they mayhave no fur at all (you can be 'scaly' e.g.Likes Draconians, Lizardmen, Dragons, ect.)You may not allways like it, believe me,but trying to leave it is the hardest thingyou can do.

I talk about the animal-people as "anthros" and the people who like them "furries". Sure, there excists those who only like anthromorpic reptiles/dinosaurs/other unfurred creatures, used to be one myself trough my entire childhood, but those I also refer to as "furries".

Asper Sarnoff Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 asper that's not the devianart by u., ur just browsing the internet!!! liar!!!! I'm barely able to understand what you're trying to say here. But since it seems to be about you accusing me of lying, and that the link in my signature is not my DA page, I'll answer to that. I do believe I'm in a better position to know that than you will ever be, and it is very much my DA page.I also don't take lightly to people calling me a liar. Many things I may be, not all good, but liar is not one of them. And you'd be better of thinking again before throwing such accusations again.

Fluxy Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 asper that's not the devianart by u., ur just browsing the internet!!! liar!!!! Calling someone out is pretty serious. Because now you are only going to get more people upset at YOU. And I know I am no admin or mod, but In my opinion, you do not call someone out on a thread, you keep that to PM's. (Sorry for continuing this off topic issue.)OT: I hope we were able to give you a good explanation of what the term 'Furry' means when you describe someone with it, PointingMan.
